Excellent club sandwich, and go to place for Poutine. All freshly cooked and highly recommended! Also, try the steamed hot dog with all the extras too.

What a delicious dinner! The mini doughnuts brought back fond childhood fairground memories :). The poutine was the best I’ve had. The atmosphere had a cheerful diner feel to it. Kudos to the cook and the staff, very well done! I understand you’ve made changes and grown over the last year or so, it shows. Congrats!

Amazing place to dine-in or take-out. Staff is awesome, food is amazing with a good variety. That's right its not just fries burgers and hotdogs. There's a lot of stuff for you to eat here. Probably enough choices to eat something new each day for 2 weeks. Give it a try, you won't regret "Le roi de la patate frite".

We were quite surprised on the renovation that were done. Its actually a great place to go sit with friends. We were not expecting it to be as busy as it was when we went. There was a pretty big line. But the service was so fast. Was very surprising. Poutines are very tasty, they have 4 different sauces. The prices are very reasonable for the size you get. You must try the Jalepenos Poppers, best I've ever had. Wow, so tasty and full of flavor. A place I forgot about, but will be back!!!

Curds are an option now for the poutine like it use to be. I love the burgers and fries from there. Taste has not changed much since going when it was a chip truck. Staple place to eat when going to the cottage
